Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deal-finder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scan.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deal Finder

Watches configured sources for second-hand item listings matching owner-defined criteria. Sends an SMS + Telegram DM when a new matching listing appears.

Usage: /deal-finder (one-shot scan) — typically run from cron every 60 min.

Searches

V1 keeps the original Mac Mini search inline (state/criteria.json). V2 will move this to a state/searches.json array with one entry per search, so adding "Pelican 1535 case", "Aeron chair size B", etc. becomes a JSON edit rather than a code change.

Current Mac Mini search criteria (from state/criteria.json):

  • Chip family: M2, M3, M4 (M1 explicitly excluded — owner asked for M2+)
  • Min RAM: 16 GB
  • Min storage: 512 GB
  • Max price: $500
  • ZIP: 94566 (Pleasanton, CA), search radius 50 mi

Edit state/criteria.json to retune the Mac Mini search; v2 will lift this into a per-search config.

Sources

V1 (implemented): Craigslist (sfbay.craigslist.org/search/sss?...). Uses an honest User-Agent (Sutando-Personal-Agent/1.0) that identifies the agent rather than cosplaying a browser — Craigslist can decide whether to allow.

V2 (planned, not yet implemented):

  • eBaybrowse.ebay.com has a local-pickup filter; HTML scraping works without auth.
  • Facebook Marketplace — requires a headless browser (Playwright via the macos-use skill, or the browser-automation MCP) because the page is JS-rendered and gated.

Behavior

  1. Fetch the Craigslist search results page with the honest UA.
  2. Parse each listing: title, URL, price, neighborhood.
  3. For each listing not in state/seen.json:
    • Fetch the listing detail page (one extra HTTP req per listing — cheap, only on first sight).
    • Apply criteria filter (chip, RAM, storage, price). Listings missing fields fall through to "soft match" — flagged but still notified, since Craigslist sellers often omit specs.
    • On match: notify (SMS + Telegram), record URL in seen.json.
  4. Trim seen.json deterministically to the last 1000 entries (a deque(maxlen=1000) ordered by insertion — replaces the prior set-slicing trim which was non-deterministic).

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
